Given this terrible long and slow turn of events away from civility, perhaps both parties should realize what lies ahead and agree to ratchet down the volume. Now, should it get to the point of fisticuffs again, perhaps each party involved in the disagreement could instead agree to do a controlled boxing or MMA match with the proceeds going to charity? At least we’ll see who is willing to own up to their rhetoric, avoid sucker punches and raise money for charity at the same time. Such may be the modern way to settle squabbles deserving of resolution that oral debate cannot quell. We fear that if somebody doesn’t take a civilized approach to things, the only way to return civility to politics is the Hamilton and Burr method. Formal and refined as duelling may have been for its time, somehow, we think we can do better. If we fail in the quest to return to a more civil approach to our discord, we fear that the real winner may well be anarchy in America. If that does not scare you, watch the evening news World Report for Venezuela to see what can happen in 20 years to a once-great nation.
